Studio 639 needs their website and all social media platforms to better demonstrate and effectively communicate their Tonia DeBellis luxury athleisure brand vision, image, values and “Made in Canada” quality commitment.  

 

With the website being the “face” of the company, they aim to attract and acquire new, younger and more diverse online consumers from across North America to their website. The company also wants to improve customer engagement and grow their followers through social media channels by approximately 30%.
